Lewis may have died of heart condition

EVANSVILLE, Ind. -- Preliminary results from an autopsy Friday show that Southern Indiana center Jeron Lewis may have died from a heart condition after collapsing during a game at Kentucky Wesleyan.

Daviess County, Ky., coroner Bob Howe said the autopsy found no signs of head or any other trauma to the 21-year-old Lewis, who died at an Owensboro, Ky., hospital late Thursday. Fans said they saw Lewis hit his head when he collapsed under the basket with about 4 minutes left in the game.
